J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

Oh. And FYI?...
...I may just be a cantankerous biatch who is spoiling for a fight...

Yeah...sanctimony is irritating. I've come across it loads here. I just wonder how they can be so arsed about whatever it is they're boasting about.

If sanctimony were banned there would be no mumsnet.

If I feel I'm getting sucked in then I remind myself that not a single one of my RL friends is sanctimonious about McDonald's, or the salt content of weetabix, or the sugar content of grapes, or screen time, or bedtime, or any one of the thousands of reasons mners find to be sanctimonious.

I laughed so hard at this post I woke my breastfeeding at the breast baby and squirted my 100% liquid gold mummy milk everywhere. By doing so I also disturbed my toddler who was munching on a large bowl of organic quinoa and alfalfa (whatever that is). I did offer her some carob chocolate but she prefers to forage for berries n shit.

I cooked from scratch tonight.

Scrambled egg and toast.

Where's my magic mummy certificate?

I'm past caring how others perceive me.

If someone tries to trump me or be sickly sweet condescending I think

Oh just lower your standards, you'll be happier and you won't need the superior feeling you get from winning on the internet.

Sometimes I tell em to fuck off mind, I'm partial to both.

I hope that shit's organic.

Most children of mumsnetters seem to have diets which consist of No Added Fun.
Aibu my MIL gave my PFB a Hotel Chocolat hamper? She's 18 for god's sake! I decide what treats she has! Hasn't MIL heard of childhood obesity???

See, Chilli - you are clearly my kinda person.

I fully admit to the following:-

I twice "cooked from scratch" Hey, I was brought up on meals cooked from scratch - and I mean literally. Rabbits gutted at our kitchen table, soup made from harvest vegetables that my farming relatives actually harvested etc. etc. ...

I have lived the "Good Life"... For real, when I was growing up.

I have a bit of a laugh up my sleeve at some of the "earnest" types on here tbh.

Hey I cooked from scratch tonight. I mean I put the korma ready meal into the microwave after stabbing the cellophane by hand.

I don't "cook from scratch". I just cook. How else does one prepare food?

I agree that the "from scratch" handle is an attempt at smugness.

Reminds of all those people who smugly say they don't have a telly I may know a fair few, but their kids are watching DVDs on the laptop every time you go round.

I was a bit looked down on at school for all the wholesome from scratch food my mum made.
It was the 80's and all the cool kids ate Findus Crispy Pancakes and Ketchips.

Homemade potato wedges = cut a potato and plonk it in the oven
Frozen potato wedges = open a bag and plonk it in the oven

So yes, just smuggery.

I want to know where to get this magic ingredient 'scratch' from. I suspect only Waitrose stock it.

It seems so versatile though, bolognese made from scratch, biscuits made from scratch, bread made from scratch, pies made from scratch.

I'm sure it would save me a lot of time in the kitchen, but I suspect it may be expensive

Metallic, maybe, but who has the better arteries now?

What what what are ketchips, they sound amazing

Erm, ok then Salmo.

I fucking hate it when posters post crap posts about their precious snowflakes lunchbox which contains a gazillion items "made/cooked" from scratch

Who the actual feck thought "from scratch" was a descriptive thing????

It makes me think the poster has been physically digging their road up or similar.

Bastards.

I'm surprised all the people who work such stressful, high powered jobs in between organising daily play dates for junior, keeping their house in showroom condition going for lovely walks, shopping at six different supermarkets to get the best deal and spending three hours a day prepping fore the 11 plus and caring for their elderly pil manage to spend so much time on Mumsnet.

Or,

You haven't come in after a gruelling twelve hour shift, you've been pissing about on mumsnet for at least five hours.

Back awayi if you like Mintyy

I'm on a roll.

I hate FaceBook posts too.

I think you may all enjoy the posts on Sanctimommy

I declare that everyone is a bastard except me.

Or the ones where a poster is stressed because they don't have time to cook or clean the house before a dinner party.

Don't start a fucking thread about it, start the cooking!

I agree op.

( although my homemade lentil soup is to die for - ingredients shipped in from the foothills of the Himalayas )

I get called "earnest" a lot on MN. And "worthy". I once nearly caused a riot with a spinach patty.
